T0 ALI-WHOM IT MAY 1301?:

Be it known that I; A): H; JERMEYER, oi" Rohrerstown, (HempficldPost Office,) in tho county of Lancaster, State of Penney! m.- 5 ve nted :i new and useful Flux for Welding, Paddling, and Brazing Mi- :il; and I do hereby declare the 1 ing to be a, full and exact description of the some ily present invention is on improvement upon the flux for welding and bracing, for which it patent was ed'to me on the 30th day of October, 1866; and the nature of the improvement consists in the combination t one-thircl of oyster-shells wish tn'ochirds of the chalcedony quartz, the two substances being powdered and mixed together, and in this condition applied as u flux in the ordinary manner, Well known to every blncksmith and practical nietallurgist. The chalcedony quartz, which I have herctofoi'c'used as a flu): without any other admixture, and which gcnoru-lly gives very excellent results, is, however, greatly improved by the addiable physio for cleansing and improving the character of iron in the puddling furnace. I have repeatedly put the commonest pig-iron into the furnace, and when it had melted I threw in this flux 0r physio, with which it was Worked in the usual manner, and from the iron thus produced horse-shoe nails of good quality were made.

.As a iiux for welding steel upon i1'on,or for welding iron to iron, this improved compound gives the-most satisfactory results, and it is also very eflicicnt and useful when applied as n. flux in the operation of brazing.

What; I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is- The use of the herein-described compound as a. flux for welding and brazing, and as a physio for cleansing and improving iron in the operation of puddling.
